macro noob need assistance

I'm trying to record a macro - rather unsuccessfully. Here's what I've tried
to do:

After inserting a picture into my document, I want to change its properties
so that it is:

1. in front of the text

2. its horizontal alignment is left relative to the page

3. its vertical alignment is top relative to the page

4. its scale is 100%

However, once I start recording the macro, I am unable to access the
wrapping style of the picture as the property is grayed out. I don't have
enough experience with VB to actually write the code for myself, so I was
wondering if there were some way to get the macro recorder to allow me to
access the properties that I need.

Or, am I missing the boat completely and that there is in fact another,
simpler way of inserting a picture with the formatting I require?

All comments appreciated.

BTW, using WIN2K/Word2K

Your concept is right. The problem is the extreme limitations of creating
macros by recording. You need to *write* the macro. Fortunately VBA Help
covers your task reasonably well.

Thanks.
